KIPP Academy started in 1994. As the original KIPP school, KIPP Academy focuses on appreciation, patience, humility, standing up for justice, and doing the right thing.

KIPP Academy is committed to providing justice and equity for all, and our thematic units, capstone projects, literature circles, community circles, restorative justice practices, differentiated extension blocks, and student government are just a few ways we make sure we turn this commitment into action. Most importantly, our students, who are almost entirely from low income areas, go on to graduate from college four or five times the rate of their neighborhood peers.
